    Liu Feng led his army to leave Jiameng that night and fled towards Zitong. Cao Zhen led his army to pursue him fiercely. The Shu army was defeated. Fortunately, Zhao Yun led his troops to cut off the rear and finally restrained the army.  In the midst of the rebellious army, Ma Dai immediately led his troops to rob Ma Chao. When the brothers saw each other, they all sighed.  Ma Dai asked, how should we behave now?  Brother, do you have any ideas?  Ma Chao said: "Now that Liu Feng has been defeated, he is afraid of me and cannot follow me. I can hide in our army, pretend to be running away, and deceive into Luocheng. Then I can go to Chengdu through Luocheng." Ma Dai frowned and said: "  Brother, you still want to return to Chengdu? Although the prince is defeated, he still has tens of thousands of people under his command, and he can still fight with the Wei people. Wu and Li can't stay on the defensive for a long time, so why should they follow each other? " Ma Chao sneered: "Now?  The situation is weakened, and if divided, the force will be weak, but if combined, the force will be strong. Wu and Li are both afraid of the Wei people and wary of Liu Feng. When they hear that their brother is going to surrender, they will be happy to accept him. We will take advantage of the situation to capture him and seize it.  Chengdu. If we use Chengdu's troops to welcome Liu Feng, Feng will not dare to imprison me again. If we join forces to defend the Northern Army, the country may be in danger and restored to safety." Ma Dai was overjoyed: "This is a wonderful strategy!  It would be great if it was like this earlier. If you only think about the country, we won't be in the situation we are in now. Fortunately, you finally woke up.  Okay, brother, I will continue to follow you, and we will work together to achieve great things.  So he led his cronies Buqu and the defeated troops in Wudu and ran all the way. They actually ran ahead of Liu Feng and went straight into Luocheng.  Guan Ping, the guard general of Luocheng, heard that Ma Dai had joined the prince Liu Feng, so he opened the door to welcome him. Ma Dai said: "The division has been defeated now and may retreat to Mianzhu and Luoxian counties, but I am afraid that Chengdu will be a constraint."  If the food supply is cut off, our army will be overthrown. Therefore, Prince Dai ordered his envoys to go to the capital in advance to persuade Wu Yi and Li Yan. "Guan Ping wondered why Liu Feng didn't send a well-spoken official to persuade Wu and Li Yan.  Li sent Ma Dai instead, but after thinking about it again, his Ma family originally obeyed the orders of Chengdu, and maybe he wanted to use this relationship to sway the hearts of Wu and Li.  That is to say, they prepared food and fodder as gifts and sent Ma Dai and others all the way to the outskirts of Chengdu.  Ma Dai sent people to the city in advance to meet Wu and Li.  He said that I had followed my brother and was defeated in Hanzhong, so I temporarily surrendered to Liu Feng out of desperation. Now that Liu Feng was unable to defeat the Wei army and retreated, I took the opportunity to sneak through Luo County and surrender to the imperial court, hoping that the general would accept him.  Wu Yi then asked the envoy: "How many people are under General Ma's command?" The envoy replied: "There are only more than 700 soldiers and 200 horses." Wu Yi asked again: "Where is Ma Mengqi?" He replied: "Shang  He was imprisoned by Liu Feng." The messenger said that Ma Dai was waiting outside the city for fear that he was defeated and had returned to Liu Feng.  Will be punished - "If the general is not willing to forgive me, I should leave; if he is willing to forgive me, I hope the general will come out of the city to meet him." Before Wu Yi could answer, Li Yan hurriedly said next to him: "General Ma abandons rebellion and follows the right path.  , What's the crime? However, the general is too valuable to go out of the city to meet him, so I strictly ask him to go on behalf of the general." Wu Yi also coveted the Ma family soldiers and immediately agreed: "That's it, I'm sorry to bother you." Li Yan immediately led a sentinel.  The horse came out of the city to greet Ma Dai. From a distance, he saw Ma Dai prostrating himself to the ground. He hurriedly urged the horse forward, and then came down to help him: "General, why are you doing this?" Ma Dai saw that Wu Yi refused to leave the city, and there was only Li Yan in front of him. He couldn't help but hesitate.  Disappointment But the two brothers had already discussed it. If Wu Yi fell into the trap and left the city, that would be the best. But if he could be captured on the spot, Chengdu would be in the palm of his hand.  What if Wu Yi doesn't come out?  Let's see who comes out. If someone else comes to summon him, we have to enter the city temporarily and then look for opportunities to plot against Wu and Li. If Li Yan is willing to come, we might as well take him as a hostage and then take him into Chengdu and lure him with Li Yan's orders.  Wu Yi needs to come over.  So Ma Dai immediately stood up and bowed deeply towards Li Yan: "I have a long time to come to greet the guilty minister. Please come to the camp to rest. The guilty minister will arrange his troops and horses to wait for the master's order. "You can rest for a while first.  , take a drink of water, I will gather everyone together and ask you to indicate the quantity, so that we can enter Chengdu together.  Li Yan took Ma Dai's hand and said with a smile: "General, you can lead your troops into the city immediately, why do you need to order the camp?" Then he pointed at the camp where Ma's army had just set up: "Please come to the camp, please, brother, you must want to meet me."  ?¡± Ma Dai was shocked when he heard this, and just as he was retreating, the Imperial Guards had already gathered around him, holding him back with spears in their chests.  Immediately, Li Zhenshan mounted his horse, waved the flag, and saw ambushes all around - he really didn't dare to come out to pick up Ma Dai with a few hundred people as guards. There were no less than 3,000 soldiers behind him. Taking advantage of the opportunity to talk to Ma Dai,  He secretly sneaked into the Majia camp, and immediately got his life, and he got up together at once.  The Ma family were originally defeated soldiers and their morale was very low. Now that Ma Dai was captured and besieged by an army several times their own, they were all frustrated. The other side shouted: "The Ma family wants to cause chaos. You can only accept his coercion.  But if you drop your weapons and kneel down, you can avoid death." Immediately, 70% of them put down their weapons and stopped resisting.  The rest of the crowd surrounded Ma Chao and fought out of the camp. Ma Chao pointed at Li Yan angrily: "What's the point of Zhengfang?" Li Yan sneered and said, "What's the point of Meng Qi hiding in the camp?" Ma Chao knew that this was not a good thing.  When he got there, he immediately opened the big tree and took Li Yan directly.  Li Yan moved his horse to retreat, and thenWaving the flag, the soldiers rushed up and surrounded Ma Chao in Gaixin.  Ma Mengqi was so brave that he moved his long spear like lightning and stabbed the two soldiers in an instant. However, in the end, he was unable to defeat the four men with his fists and was forced to turn his horse's head and break out of the encirclement.  Li Yanshang refused to give up and ordered an urgent pursuit: "Thousands of marquis will be killed by Ma Mengqi! Kill them and reward thousands of households!" The Chengdu Forbidden Army were all in high spirits and strong in physical strength, but the Ma Jiajun fled thousands of miles, both mentally and physically.  Everyone is exhausted, how can they resist?  Instantly collapsed, Ma Chao rode away alone.  The Chengdu army could not catch up for three miles. Suddenly, they saw flags flying in front, as if a large army was approaching.  Li Yan was surprised and said: "The Ma family came to gain Chengdu for Liu Feng, and if there is a large army to join forces." He quickly ordered the troops to withdraw, escorted Ma Dai and the Ma family prisoners back to Chengdu, and closed the city gate tightly.  It turns out that Liu Feng retreated to Mianzhu in one fell swoop, and first sent Huang Quan to lead thousands of troops to Luoxian County to assist Guanping in the defense and try to negotiate with Wu and Li.  When Huang Quan arrived at Luo, Guan Ping greeted him and told him that Ma Dai had just passed there.  Huang Quan was surprised and said: "Dai Jiechao has left, does he want to return to Chengdu? Does he want to take Chengdu?" He said in his heart that if these two brothers want to escape and return to Liu Chan's camp, then we have no way to do it; if they have a conspiracy,  Seizing Chengdu - "Ma Mengqi looked at small gains but forgot about great righteousness, and used small plans instead of big plans. How could this man achieve anything? He must be defeated by Li Zhengfang!" So he led his army to find out the news.  Just in time to follow Ma Chao.  Ma Chao met Huang Quan.  I couldn't help but cry on the ground.  He said: "I wanted to plot to seize Chengdu to win the trust of the prince, unite the country as one, and resist the Wei thieves. I don't want to fail. My brother will be trapped in the rebellion and will not survive!" Huang Quan quickly comforted him: "Meng Qi  Since you are here, Wu Ziyuan and others will not dare to harm your brother. "Don't worry. "You have completely broken up with Chengdu Fang this time, and you can serve the prince wholeheartedly from now on.  Ma Chao swore to the heavens and the earth, saying that I have no second thoughts and must support the crown prince to ascend to the throne!  Besides, Li Yan escorted Ma Dai back to Chengdu to see Wu Yi. Wu Ziyuan had already heard about what happened in the city, so he asked Li Yan: "How did Zheng Fang know that he was a fraud?" Li Yan said this simply: "Brothers Ma  If the two brothers came together, maybe I would have believed him a little more.  Now that Ma Dai is the only one running back, he is not afraid of investing in Chengdu.  Did Liu Feng get so angry that he killed his brother Ma Chao?  "If we were to enter the city and I might not have noticed it, but now I wanted to trick the general into coming out to meet him, we would know that his intentions were unpredictable." Wu Yi sighed and said, "Fortunately, we are in the right direction, otherwise, we might not be able to do anything." He was about to order Ma Dai to be captured.  Behead.  Li Yan quickly waved his hand to stop him and said no. If you really kill Ma Dai, the feud between us and the Ma family will become serious. There will be no room for maneuver. It is better to imprison Ma Dai temporarily to contain those who return to Liu Feng's camp.  Ma Chao thinks about the future layout.  So he ordered Ma Dai to be temporarily imprisoned.  Turning around, Wu Yi asked Li Yan again: "Now that the Wei people have captured Hanzhong and regained Sanba, Liu Feng has been defeated. How should we deal with it? We wanted to make both Feng and the Wei people suffer, so I can take advantage of it.  If we cooperate with Feng now, we may be taken advantage of. If we don't cooperate with Feng, we will be sealed off and the whole city will be isolated" Li Yan smiled slightly and said it doesn't matter. My previous layout should have taken effect to some extent.  As a result, now all it takes is one eloquent person to go to Wei camp and lobby for the honor, and the country will be restored to safety.  Wu Yi nodded and asked: "Who can I send? Hongfu is famous for his unparalleled argumentative skills. Who can be compared with him?" Can we find anyone here who is more capable than Shixun?  Li Yan smiled and said: "Talk and tongue are trivial. If the power is not there, even if you have a mouth full of words, it will not be able to shake people's hearts. Is it because Ziyuan is a scholar who stops talking and eloquence? He thinks that those who are not guilty of talking and talking can be said."  "Yes?" I said to find someone who can speak well to persuade Shixun. The premise is that the previous arrangement has been successful and the general trend makes Shixun have to respond, rather than having to find someone who is more capable than Shixun.  " If Xun was here, he would definitely think that this is not a game. As long as the argument is successful, any difficult problem can be easily solved.  If there is no profit to be gained and no force to respond, even if you say something to the heavens, people will still ignore it.  "Qin Zi's edict in Guanghan must be moved by Hongfu's heart." Wu Yi agreed, so he summoned Qin Mi and ordered him to refit out of the city and go to the Wei army's camp.  Qin Mi asked, what do you want me to say to Shixun?  The situation is like this. It is simply an impossible task to persuade him to withdraw his troops. Are you planning to surrender and send me to talk to him about the conditions?  Li Yan said with a smile: "No. I am sending you an imperial edict to be Hong Fu. I want him to support his troops and rule in Shu. Then the people of Wei will be in chaos and the country will be safe." Qin Mi was shocked and said that you are crazy.  Can't it?  How could it be possible for Shixun to declare war and cause chaos?  First of all, he is an important minister of Cao Wei and an in-law of the Cao family. He is considered inferior to one person in Luoyang and superior to ten thousand people. Why should he take the risk and try to become the king of Shu?  Furthermore, this person has always been known for his loyalty. Even if his loyalty is just fake and superficial, he will eventually bear the name of Wenzong and cherish his feathers. If he is not sure enough, how can he be willing to do it??Throwing dirty water on yourself?  Moreover, his troops are all soldiers from the three states of Yong, Liang, and Jing. They were first led by the conquerors of Shu. They are not long-term leaders. They can use their hands and fingers like an arm. Even if they want to rebel and stand on their own, how high is the chance of winning?  ?  Shi Xun is not a fool, so how can he be so stupid that he takes this evil path?  Li Yan said with a smile: "I have sent people to spread the news widely in the Central Plains. It is said that Xun supported the army and took advantage of Shu's disadvantages, but could not advance quickly. It is because he wants to support the invaders and respects himself. Now, if we have a hundred thousand people in our hands, if they are more than half a year old,  If you have a lot of close friends, your power will be unshakable. He often talks to soldiers and villagers to win people's hearts. This is the proof of his reputation.  Zhu, what about Cao Zhi and Xun Ye? When the time comes, the news has reached Xun Ye, and he will be confused and doubtful. If Zi Chi goes to tell him, his mind will be confused, and the people of Wei will be disturbed.  It can be blocked at the foot of Luocheng. If Xun rushes to break through Luocheng, march to Chengdu, and tell Kai to return his orders, the rumor will be broken without attacking. If Bidun attacks Luocheng and is unable to advance for a long time, Cao Cao will be suspicious and either reprimand or change his command.  If the Wei people are defeated, I can counterattack them and drive them out of Shu. The survival of the country depends on this, I hope you can follow it with all your strength!" (To be continued.) PS: The Spring Festival is approaching, and I wish you all a happy New Year!  .  Thanks to my friends for their support over the past two years, Wenkui is finally coming to an end.
